Please change to be able to run only fast tests or only slow tests, that way we can separate the job into two and give feedback about the fast tests before the slows have finished running. Actually what eyal is talking about is not inside the project flow, but jenkins build pipeline. Thar ranges from static checks, unit tests, functional tests, builds and deployments (in the future). So instead of having one job for each step and running all of them in parallel, you'll run in a hierarchical manner, to avoid having to wat for all the tests to get feedback or failing before starting the most complex long-running tests. > > Nir > _______________________________________________ > Infra mailing list > in...@ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/infra -- David Caro Red Hat S.L.
